Oak Engage and Sevita join forces to manage 40,000 employees through COVID-19 vaccine and testing mandates

Growing tech and intranet firm Oak Engage have joined forces with Sevita, a leading provider of home and community-based specialty healthcare in the United States, to enhance Sevita’s ability to manage COVID-19 vaccination records, testing, and reporting amid evolving state and federal guidelines.

With operations spanning multiple states, Sevita provides a broad range of services including support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, specialised rehabilitative services, children and family services, and connected care for older adults. Maintaining visibility on vaccination rates and COVID testing across the company is important to Sevita’s continued commitment to provide quality care while prioritising the health and safety of employees and the individuals served.

Oak Engage has partnered with Sevita to build an innovative platform for COVID management. The  company has expanded their intranet platform to help Sevita better manage staff status and reporting requirements.

The SaaS platform, which is accessible via desktop or mobile, will allow Sevita to easily:

• Identify and communicate with employees and managers by locations and roles
• Distribute content to relevant employee groups based on their status
• Record test results and vaccination status

Will Murray, Chief Executive Officer at Oak Engage said: “The working world has changed dramatically over the last two years which means intranets have become even more essential for organisations. That’s why we’ve developed a fully integrated COVID-19 resilience app to help companies across various sectors manage their workforce and provide a tool to better keep their people safe.”

“Oak’s dynamic capability lets businesses send tailored content and allows segmentation of audiences depending on their status. This powerful targeting tool means organisations are in full control and can react confidently to any scenario. Oak Engage is revolutionising the digital workplace and with the work we have done so far we are just beginning to see how transformational our new approach to an intranet can be.”

Teresa Prego, Vice President of Marketing and Communication at Sevita said: “Communicating and monitoring the status of our COVID vaccination and testing has become intertwined with our ability to operate and provide services to the individuals in our care. This has been a time-intensive and resource-intensive process throughout the pandemic. Oak Engage has partnered with us to build a solution that is dynamic, allows us to access multiple data views, and allows us to respond to evolving legislation and regulations. Working closely with our internal IT, human resources, and operational leadership teams, the implementation team was able to effectively build and quickly roll out the platform to our employees.”

“We’re a complex organisation of employees distributed across the country, so the ability to define different rules based on an employee’s location and role to deliver the right content at the right time is important. The analytics and reporting tools allow us to provide visibility across the company so that we can manage varying federal and state requirements while maintaining focus on the individuals we serve.”

Oak Engage helps businesses connect and engage with their people and is trusted by some of the biggest brands in the world, including Aldi, Five Guys, ITV and NEP. To see how Oak Engage can help manage COVID-19 within your workforce, or for more information, visit their website.
